A 1995 installment of the Classic Disney Shorts, this Mickey Mouse short was first shown before A Kid in King Arthur's Court in theaters in the United States, while international theaters ran it right before A Goofy Movie. It was nominated for an Academy Award and shown in theaters again in 1997, this time accompanying Disney's Live-Action Adaptation of George of the Jungle, and then popped up during a marathon of Mickey Mouse shorts on the pre-Network Decay Disney Channel in 1999. It... probably won't be run on the Channel again.The plot kicks off when Minnie gets upset with Mickey when he forgets the anniversary of their first date. Mickey tries to make it up to her by offering to take her miniature golfing, but she mistakenly believes he's taking her to Hawaii. To raise the $999.99 needed for that vacation, Mickey goes to apply for a job working for a mad scientist named Dr. Frankenollie. But he soon finds out that the job Frankenollie has planned for him was to switch the Mouse's brain with that of his giant monster, Julius (who resembles a cross between Pete and Frankenstein's Monster). The result is Mickey's mind gets trapped in Julius's body, and Mickey's body turning into the creature you see here. To make matters worse, Frankenollie is killed during the experiment, and Julius-in-Mickey's-body goes after Minnie. Thus, Mickey-in-Julius's-body must chase the monster down and rescue his girlfriend again.This short is a cult favorite among Disney fans (notably including Warren Spector, the head developer for Epic Mickey) and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film of 1995, but with the sheer amount of Nightmare Fuel generated from this, the Disney Company largely prefers not to talk about it. They only mention it in history books about the company's animated films, and the only physical video releases it has ever been given were a Japan-only laserdisc and a U.K.-only videotape, both in 1996, and on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD set Mickey Mouse in Living Color Vol. 2.Perhaps because Disney has loosened up slightly when it comes to Mickey's characterization, the company eventually started acknowledging it again through merchandise, particularly its Vinylmation line, as well as Julius's Superboss appearance in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]. Movies Anywhere posted it online in August 2015, as an exclusive addition to a compilation of shorts from the 2000s and 2010s. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Minnie first sees Julius-Mickey while she's looking for a bikini in a shop. When she sees the face Julius-Mickey's makes while she's holding up the swimsuit she considers buying, she coyly reprimands, "Not 'till we're on the boat!" | |

Darker and Edgier: It does clash with the family-friendly image Disney puts on the mouse. The characters might seem unusually not-so goody-good as thought of, and overall (especially for a little kid) it's pretty damn terrifying. | |

The Cameo | |
| Runaway Brain / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Zazu, of all characters, makes not one, but two, very brief appearances. The first comes when, as Mickey is being sucked down the trap hole portal, Zazu is also getting sucked down amidst the debris. The second comes later when, after Mickey and Julius' brains are switched back to normal, Julius roars at Mickey, and Zazu is seen flying out of Julius' mouth. | |

Julius himself is probably named after the cat from Alice's Adventures in Cartoonland, one of Walt Disney's very first forays into animation. Bonus points are given since Julius is a monster version of Mickey's nemesis Peg Leg Pete, who is also a bit of a cat. | |

Evil Makes You Monstrous | |
| Runaway Brain / int_5dda1915 | comment |
Evil Makes You Monstrous: When Julius' mind is transferred into Mickey's body, the mouse's ears become tattered, his face turns pale grey, his eyes turn yellow and bloodshot, and his teeth turn into fangs. Conversely, when Mickey's mind is transferred into Julius' body the monster becomes less monstrous, with a peachy muzzle, white sclerae in his eyes, and blunt teeth. | |

Take That!: As Mickey is being sucked down through the trap door tube, in a don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it moment, one of the pieces of debris in the tube is a pink slip with the initials "J.K." written on it, for "Jeffrey Katzenberg". After Frank Wells was killed in a helicopter crash in 1994, Katzenberg sought Wells' job, but he was at such professional and personal odds with Michael Eisner and Roy E. Disney that he was ultimately forced out of the studio at the time of the cartoon's production. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Runaway Brain / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At the beginning, Mickey is playing a video game based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - specifically, a Street Fighter clone in which Dopey is fighting the evil witch and doing Liu Kang's Bicycle Kick. "Whistle While You Work" from the film is briefly heard in the score when Mickey sees Dr. Frankenollie's ad. Frankenollie is named after two of Disney's "Nine Old Men", Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. Julius himself is probably named after the cat from Alice's Adventures in Cartoonland, one of Walt Disney's very first forays into animation. Bonus points are given since Julius is a monster version of Mickey's nemesis Peg Leg Pete, who is also a bit of a cat. One of the photos in Mickey's wallet is of him in Steamboat Willie, and he also whistles the same song from Steamboat Willie as he's walking up to the laboratory. The song also plays over the end credits. When Mickey arrives at the laboratory, the shot mirrors Father Merrin arriving at Regan Macneil's house in The Exorcist. Mickey subduing Julius is similar to when he defeated the giant in "Brave Little Tailor". | |

Typecasting: Andreas Deja, best known as the hand behind such villainous characters as Gaston, Jafar, and Scar, animates both Julius and Julius-in-Mickey's-body. | |

Expy: Julius is pretty much a large Pete donning the look of Frankenstein's Monster; he even has a peg-leg. This was driven home in that while Mickey was in Julius' body, he has the hippo-like molars that Pete also possesses in almost all of his appearances. Dr. Frankenollie is the third in a line mind-targeting mad scientists. It starts with Dr. XXX from The Mad Doctor, who inspired Professors Ecks, Doublex and Triplex, a trio of evil monkey scientists who antagonized Mickey in Floyd Gottfredson's "Blaggard Castle". In the Fantagraphics Gottfredson Library volume containing the comic story, Chris Bailey confirmed that he had Ecks in mind for the part until Executive Meddling lead to the creation of a new character. Frankenollie has since (likely) been the inspiration for Doctor Flor Winx from "The Stuff Of Dreams". | |

Exact Words: Dr. Frankenollie's ad says he'd pay whoever was willing to do mindless work. Mickey learns too late that the "mindless work" in question was giving his brain to a monster. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: When Mickey Mouse goes to Dr. Frankenollie's house he gets sucked down a hole into the doctor's lab, There is a blink and you'll miss it moment where you see a Pink slip with the initials JK on it. This is a reference to the firing of Jeffrey Katzenberg from Disney in 1995. | |

| Runaway Brain / int_f2480a42 | comment |
Futile Hand Reach: In the climax, Julius knocks Minnie off the building, and Mickey cries out Minnie's name as he tries (seemingly in vain) to reach out to her. Averted, however, in that he does manage to grab her hand in the nick of time. | |
